Old threads

Sorry, what is a 'true member of this forum". The forum Dictionary of the meaning = A person that has been a good contributor of a collective professional group which adds to the forum and not take the Part P.



Also, "not entertained us",or 'you'. Nobody else seems to be slagging me? "You" (aka me) nothing has been said by me? I just hear the groans of the True Members reading your posts on this thread. If you dont have anything to say constructive, dont say anything.

What are your actual bullet points upon this topic? Post them up and it will be debated. Everyone's views are looked at. Post yours up.

That'll be post 24 then. Quite harmless, and unlikely to provoke such a bitchfest I thought (at the time ).

THAT was your mistake!

 

[Paul.M]

What does it matter, if the information contained is still relevant?

^^^ post #24... How did this thread get to this conversation I ask?

Or Wigan lol. (Rugby league joke and waiting for the backlash)

Everything is fine in the world Mr Moo but what are we all thinking about Old Threads?

A web search will still bring them up, just cant post on them. If anyone needs to ask a question they start a new thread about their own personal problem (sounds a bit like embarrassing bodies tv program lol) and we will all help them.

This a bit of a weird topic but it is something that will change the way we all look and use the forum. It really is down to the members to discuss this and we will all take it from there. Your choice at the end of the day, it's up to you.

I often use the links to similar threads but don't tend to 'resurrect' them. I have read threads that I thought were fresh on activity stream, but have learnt to check (95% of the time!). Rather than close them, could you not have a visual aid, e.g. link not blue as per normal. That way everyone can choose whether to open it up or not.

Some threads that get re-erected that make me laugh is the one's where someone who has posted that xxxxxxx are recruiting electricians then some Muppet comes on 3-4 years down the line and asks are they still recruiting, by which time the job has been completed.

You laugh, but that's what recruitment consultants do. I get emails from some of them asking is I'm still looking for work, sometimes 4 or 5 years after I registered with them. It's not uncommon for someone looking for work to contact an employer speculatively in case they need anyone else but these people seem to have you down as 'once a jobseeker always a jobseeker'.

This situation could be avoided if the employer came back and said when the position had been filled, then the thread could have been closed.
Again, maybe this kind of thread could be started with a 'validity period' so it automatically closes after a certain period or period of activity, but I think there are plenty of discussions which can quite happily be reopened after any amount of time without the need to start a new thread and recover old ground.
